Cliched lyrics that annoy you the most
"you're the half that makes me whole" is a line from songs that's really gotten used up - especially in country songs.

3. Not being able to let something go.
I mean, come on. :eyes:

"I can't let you go"
"I just can't let you go"
"I can't let go"
"Letting go is too hard for my brain"

etc. etc.

8. "A train bound for nowhere"
Love the song, but seriously - I understand Amtrack always has a destination.

21. Come on now

10. I love Jimmy's songs
Edited on Sun Jun-06-04 09:24 PM by mvd
And Garth's. I think there are a lot more cliched. Also, quite a few country artists can put a new twist on things or sing something with a lot of power behind it. But to each his own. :hi:

16. I'm sorry
that you have no taste in music. :)

Actually, you're right that there are much more cliched artists. Those were just the first that came to mind.

12. Anything From Aerosmith
Seems all their songs from modern times incorporate cliches - sometimes two in the same line.

15. The Senior Rolling Stones
I love the old Stones, but jebus their new songs are so clichéd. Same with Aerosmith.

"Between a rock... And a hard place"

18. Any song that uses the following rhymes:

"brain" and "insane"
"life" and "cuts like a knife"

There's just no excuse for being a professional musician and still not being able to think of better rhymes than those :P

22. "if you can't be with the one you love, love the one your with"
Edited on Sun Jun-06-04 10:39 PM by SarahBelle
Like human beings are just random bodies void of uniqueness or individual personalities that you can just substitute and use. Maybe for a bit of fun, then what?

25. I agree
They can find something more original than "cuts like a knife."

24. There's this song they keep playing on Australian radio
by Sarah Connor that annoys the heck out of me...it contains every cliche that's ever been used in pop music for the last thirty years in it
